Book review: The richest man in Babylon, by George Samuel Clason
Did Babylon exist? Of course, it did, and it was the richest and most prosperous city that has ever been on Earth. At least, this is what ancient historians say in their books, in which they describe the riches, advanced civilization, and highly-organized economic life of its citizens. The remaining monuments of this emblematic city of antiquity serve as evidence of its glorious past.

Book Review: “Who Cares Wins” by Lily Cole
Lily Cole is perhaps known more for her work on screen than in literature. A model, an actress and a filmmaker, Lily Cole has explored a wide range of her talents throughout the media industry and continues to expand to this day. Her book “Who Cares Wins” is all about our own problems today but, different to other books of its kind it does not depict it as an apocalyptic nightmare to bring down the reader into a deep hole of eco-depression. Instead, Lily Cole’s book seeks to show us that there are interesting and vast ways to solve these problems if we care enough and if we concentrate on what really matters. Her skills at showing us massive problems with our own world and then telling us that we have the solution to them at our fingertips if we work together is something that I find incredibly interesting about this text. The optimism and the clarity in writing style really make you want to stick through the book and read what she has to say. Why? Well, it is the only real book you’ll find about the environment that does not lead to the end of the world.

Collaboration vs. Competition
Competition is easier to understand and run, while cooperation is more complex and fragile. Cooperation is difficult to establish but easy to destroy; it is a form of harmonious relationships which people and the government need to comprehend. Unfortunately, business and education systems continue to encourage competition, almost ignoring the power of collaboration and maintaining the cherished belief that competition is the way to success. However, cooperative businesses have higher incomes, cooperative students have higher grades, and hiring managers, who are able to work together, have fewer vacant jobs. Scientists, who consider themselves cooperative, have more published papers than their competitive colleagues. It is not surprising that cooperation enhances creativity. This book report aims to discuss whether competition described in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a better form of governance than collaboration depicted in Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach.
